Matthew 13:1- 9,18-23 The Parable of the Sower

A small kernel

Lifeless

Except for what is inside

Slowly comes to life

Sending down roots

And up tender shoots

Seeking only nurturing and light

And the community

The children of God

Gather around

We receive you as a fellow member of the body of Christ

A worker with us

In the kingdom of God

Is how it is suppose to be

How busy

How stuck in our ways

How important our programs

And yet

Some grow

Help us dear Lord to till the soil

That allows

Them all

Go grow
